Attack at Planned Parenthood Clinic
November 28, 2015 at 11:37 am (This post was last modified: November 28, 2015 at 11:46 am by Catholic_Lady.)
It is not yet known if this shooting at Planned Parenthood was motivated by anti abortion sentiments, or if it was just a random attack. It resulted in the death of 3 people, 1 of them a cop. Being against abortion myself I just want to reiterate that pro life does not end after birth. The point of being pro life is to believe that ALL life is sacred. What this man did was heinous, and if he is anti abortion, hypocritical on top of that. Robert Lewis Dear, you are not on my side.

Condolences to the families.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I have read several news articles about this that have a headline that indicates that this man attacked an "abortion clinic".
This is the sort of sensationalist, inciting journalism that has to freaking STOP already.

It was not an abortion clinic, it is a HEALTH clinic. The man attacked people for getting pap smears.

You're a nice lady, C/L but you are out of touch with the fanatics in the "pro-lfe" movement.

But you know very well that you can turn everything into violence. Point is, if this was a pro lifer, he could just as well find a justification for his actions as you can find for being a peaceful person. The writing itself is ambiguous in every holy book. Probably because different generations with different agendas added to them.

Methinks you are in the minority, C_L.


"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I think some people believe planned parenthood is just another term for abortion clinic. Like intelligent design is another term for creationism. That's why they bomb these places, and complain about money going towards abortions, despite the fact that abortion is a small part of what some planned parenthood facilities do, and that part isn't tax funded.

And they wonder why some people have a problem with religion in this country.

ID IS just another term for creationism.  That was proven, with their own poorly-doctored records, at the Dover trial.

Religious terrorism.

I wonder how many Christians will understand this for what it is?
